  • Abstract
    The humble black rubber tyre may seem like an afterthought amidst the plethora of high-tech innovations that sit under the monogrammed skin of a modern Formula One car, but they are crucial to the overall performance. After several years of Formula One tyre-wars, in which Goodyear, Bridgestone and Pirelli vied to produce the fastest tyres, the sport´s governing body, Fédération International de l´Automobile (FIA), decided that better control was needed and opted for a single tyre-supplier.
